(AFP) MAHACHAI – “I can give you one promise — I will try my best for you,” Suu Kyi told a crowd of hundreds packing a narrow street in Samut Sakhon province south of Bangkok to see the opposition leader, who had not left her homeland since 1988.
“May you be able to return to the country soon,” she said to the cheering migrants, many of whom held up banners with Suu Kyi’s picture and signs in Burmese and English that read “Free Burma” and “We want to go home”.
